Review

This charming rustic French and Italian bistro awaits your discovery in soi Convent in the heart of the city, it's where the warm embrace of home meets the flavours of two European culinary giants, France and Italy. A cosy outdoor setting beckons, complete with a vibrant red wood-fired pizza oven. Venture indoors, and you'll find yourself enveloped in the inviting ambience of a friend's living room. The concise menu fuses culinary treasures with elegantly plated dishes. From ciliegina caprese, with fresh cherry tomatoes, to refreshing caesar salad, and the indulgent French onion soup are all great options to begin with. The signature escargots steal the spotlight with tender, plump morsels bathed in a rich, buttery garlic sauce, perfect for savouring with the accompanying toasted Tuscan bread. Behind these culinary wonders stands owner and head chef, Piyanat Srira-Ngam, who honed his skills at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu followed by a stint in Florence, Italy. Drawing inspiration from his Italian escapade, Bistro Di Farina presents daily creations of fresh pasta and pizza. The French menu boasts timeless treasures like beef Bourguignon, lovingly cooked for four hours and duck confit with its three-hour preparation. Complementing these culinary masterpieces is an artful selection of wines, handpicked to partner and enhance the French and Italian fare.
